9/6/2020 - DanR wrote: NRVery much on the lighter side, almost shrill, with upfront acidity dominating the overall wine character. Minty herbal with a coffee edge, with a tart cherry twang on the finish. Really missing some oomph here. I’m a fan of the property, but 2008 vintage is lacking...

2015 Château Fabre Gasparets Viognier ChimèreVin de Pays d'Oc more |
3/25/2019 - DanR wrote: NROrange viognier, tough to rate. The good: flavor profile of kumquat, marmalade jam, citrus skin. Really cool and exotic. Also, somehow not bitter, how these magicians fermented vio on the skins and made it drinkable is beyond me. The bad: 15.5% and tasted of every last percent. Rough, sand-papery texture. I really wish the somm at lunch (!!!) today had led me in a different direction...although to be fair it somehow did work with all courses - poached egg, fish and duck

2009 Château d'AurilhacHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |

Cherry/cassis/olive/mint at first opening, umami comes out with air, Tannins start slightly clunky but they round out after about an hour, finishes with decent length. Medium bodied, this comes off as a more moderate, almost feminine style. Sleek, nimble, well composed and very well made.
